As her tweet shows, Snooki turned to proven methods to aid in her weight loss: "You just need to get your a** to the gym and eat healthy!" she told Us Weekly. For the 4'9 fist-pumper, that meant a 1,300 calories-a-day diet and four days of exercise per week.

"I lost it for me," Snooki told the magazine of her motivation. "But I also wanted Jionni to know that I can be hot as a mom."

You can hear Snooki talk more about motherhood and baby Lorenzo in the clip below:

I personally admire Snooki. She has her own type of crazy, and even though she ENJOYED her life partying, drinking and hooking up, she has really grown up. Being a mom is nothing easy and for a girl with a past like that... Damn it's pretty impressive. I like Snooki's personality the most because she CHOOSES to be happy even though many people are hating on her because of her past. People really need to stop living in the past and begin living the present. She's living a great life now, probably a better life than the ones that are hating on her. I'm not trying to talk dirt on anyone but why not just let her be happy. I'm really Proud of you Snooks you've come a long way!!! :)

You know, I always found the Jersey Shore cast to be hot narcissistic messes. But I kind of like Snooky because she owns her "crazy". She's not a tall woman– losing 40+ on a woman of her stature is pretty impressive. Plus, I LOVE her hair color. She's living in her truth and becoming a grownup. Good on ya, Snooks...

why is everyone hating snookie for being slim and happy and fun. dont we all laugh, screw, recieve bj's, drink, smoke, and party with the snookies out there? if there were no snookies out there alot of venues wouldn't be half as fun as they are. it would be a bunch of yellow teeth lame nuns jumpin up and down to tiesto. lets appreicate the snookies out there please :) they brought me great times in college and still today.

Fernella all it takes is one change. I quit coffee creamer and lost 40 lbs. My husband quit sodapop he lost 68. Then he went a step further and gave up pasta and lost anotiher 40. He quit eating fatty meat and bread and salt lost 30 more. Now he is at his military weight.his BMI is 22. He is my inspiration to eat fruit,veggies,beans and greens.dont forget to drink plenty of water when u feel hungry. Yogurt fixes my sweet tooth.GO FOR IT! U will b happier.Blessings Fernella and anyone else struggling. Be patient. Good things come to those who work and wait.

I am very proud and happy for her. I am a 57 year old woman who has struggled all my life to do what she has accomplished. If I had the means I would surely do what she did. More power to you, my dear may God bless you and keep you strong and healthy for your little bundle of joy.

So, let me get this straight. In order to lose weight I need to a) hire someone to hold me accountable and b) contract a food service? Assuming we lay people can all afford to do those things while pay a nanny to babysit our newborn, we could all lose weight in record speed. This does not give the average woman any hope. It would have been better has she been able to hold herself accountable and then prepped her own healthy meals.

Why are you people so mean? Why do you have to be so negative towards a woman who lost 42 lbs? Maybe you don't have any idea of how difficult that is, but that's quite an achievement. That's exactly the kind of news and inspiration that the people in the US need given that we're the fattest country out there.

I hope you're taking medication for whatever it is that causes you to post your inscruitable comments. May I suggest Thorazine, Haldol, Prolixin, or Clozaril if those don't work. You seriously need some help.

The day i have to beg a man to remain with me or remind him 24 hours a day we are in a relationship?
Those are the days I've lost myself as a woman...our family has different types of women
SSnookie's strategy DOES NOT WORK with most men in 2013... mostwould have giving her the walking papers already.

Henry sounds like a girl posing as a guy by using a boy's name to defend her hero, a fat(well, formerly fat) woman who I personally don't find attractive.What is so big about her? She got popular because of Jersy Shore. @.@ So, why don't you go watch reruns of that horrable show, and let people say what they want.And leave poor Triumph alone. He just suffered a fire in his Engine room. :(

1) More interesting is the story of how her baby lost about 150lbs that it gained in only 9months. 2) The people of Wales are typically nonviolent, so to assume one put a child in danger is questionable (they're called Welsh by the way, not a wale, unless maybe its a pretty fat Welshman). 3) Hank, nobody cares that you want to be the blog-mother. Now be a good girl & go get me a sammich.

She is awfully short. Losing 42 lbs has to make a big diff in her. I shook my head at her comment that she had to show her man she could be hot as a mom...Uh Snookie, just cuz you're a mom doesn't mean being hot is a thing of the past.

when all of you wake up tomorrow you will about 5,000 blogs basically bashing Dexter and then acting like it conquered the world...that's when i will have too tell her the "other special job" i had prior to leaving....

Fact 1) Her real name is Nicole Polizzi
Fact 2) She is married to Jionni LaValle.
Fact 3) Nicole did NOT drink during her pregnancy, only after birth.
Fact 4) She is close friend of Kim Kardashian & are rumor to start their own talk show.

I applaud her for losing the weight, she does not wear 42 lbs of make up, once again if you or others have nothing better to do but post negative comments, then to another "Anti- Snooki" web site to vent.
Trolls are active tonight : (

How did she lose all that weight? Well, she paid a crap ton of money to have specialized trainers and nutritionists pound her in to shape. How awesome it must be to have the ability to do that. How about you do a story where an average American through hard work and dietary changes loses weight and gets healthy? Who gives a damn about rich people with money hiring professionals to do it for them??

Not to mention, how much of that 42lbs was baby weight? I appauld anyone who loses weight, and gets healthy, but it took her 7 months with a trainer, and special meals being brought in to get there. Doesn't really sound like it was some giant feat, now does it?

How did Snooki lose 42 lbs.? Well, since a third of her body weight has been in her big, fat AS$, she must have been in some kind of horrible, mutilating accident that required a complete gluteal maximimal amputation. Too bad she didn't request one of the Kardashians to be a transplant donor - they've got plenty to spare.
